Chapter 93

"......How do you say it, it's clear that Hahashi has quite a blessed ability, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, in this situation, he does seem competent.

"Kaya's evaluation of Hahashi in the forest was definitely wrong, right?"

"True, we all secretly looked down on him as a lower version of someone else... especially as the most incompetent among us."

"Yeah. I thought the same. Teleportation... I thought he was a lower version of Meguru, not Hiyama, and looked down on him."

I didn't want to hear that.

Even if you think it, please don't say it out loud.

Now, talk about Itou and the others.

Especially Hagizawa, you're not in a position to look down on me.

At first, you were labeled as a point-eating specialist, weren't you?

What's your position now?

A bomber and a jack-of-all-trades, right?

Moreover, you're a versatile ability user who can convert useless materials and objects into points.

By the way, I heard that points are worth less than money due to the ability to trade.

"You can think it's excellent if you think the five-minute incantation and the fact that heavy objects consume a lot of magic power is good."

"No, no, the essence of Hahashi is that he can buy things from Japan for us."

"Right!"

"Ah!"

"Right!"

No... don't shout so forcefully.

It makes it seem like that's all you can do, and it's pitiful.

"About the earlier conversation, it seems like you'll learn voice transfer and expansion, right?"

That makes sense.

There's visual and auditory transfer, so voice transfer is possible.

Using an object as a medium to send a voice.

If it works, it would be amazing. I can stay in a safe place.

If I could reduce the incantation time, I could participate in battles too.

While we were talking, Moshin and the others were disassembling the monsters they had teleported.

Jitsu periodically restored my magic power, and I continued to narrate.

Eventually, Itou and the others found a large cave next to a building that looked like a ruin.

Adventurers and knights began preparing for battle.

It seems they're getting ready for a serious fight.

Itou and the others went to check it out as the vanguard.

...A visible vortex is periodically flying out of the cave.

Isn't that dangerous?

As I was thinking that, Itou and the others timed their entry into the cave.

Is it a long cave?

I don't know what a sea dragon looks like, but they kept advancing inside the cave.

"The air is getting thin."

At that moment, the leader stopped and quietly raised a finger.

There was a sea dragon in the depths of the cave.

It seemed to be a slightly wider space.

It was moving slowly in a hollow area.

It might be difficult to target with teleportation.

In appearance, it had gills like a fish... it looked like a dinosaur that lived in the sea.

It was quite spiky and had scales.

Could it be called a dinosaur dragon?

"I don't know if Hahashi can hear me, but to explain, this air membrane dissipates when attacked by monsters, and it decreases accordingly. It can be replenished, but if it's consumed too quickly, it becomes dangerous. Understand?"

Don't worry, I can hear you.

I see, so when the sea dragon attacks, the air membrane is destroyed, making it difficult to continue the battle.

"Alright, Hahashi, we've done enough reconnaissance, so send air to that room, over."

Itou and the others returned the way they came.

It seems they will join the main force and then enter the decisive battle.

Okay, I'll send air, even though I don't know what will happen.

I'll try to send as much air as possible, even if I can't attack.

I stood by the window and instructed Jitsu to restore my magic power, then specified the air to be sent to the limit of my magic power.

The range increases when I send it in a wider area.

With my current magic power, I can't send it that far with a spatial designation.

So, it's better to send it in smaller portions.

Therefore, I designated the space for the small room that might become the battlefield and the part where the sea dragon was, and began the incantation.

"Do you think Hahashi can do it?"

"We have no choice but to believe. We also need to keep our formation and stay back."

Itou and the others prepared.

The adventurers and knights showed a half-believing, half-doubting attitude.

After five minutes, my magic power was drained.

"Ugh..."

It's quite tough.

I feel a strong sense of exhaustion.

"Are you okay? I'll restore you."

"Okay."

Jitsu started to restore my magic power.

By the way, Jitsu's restoration is gradual, so it doesn't recover immediately.

It's like a rechargeable battery.

In any case, it takes some time to fully recover.

"Hey? Did you hear something?"

"It sounded like a big explosion..."

Small bubbles flowed to Itou and the others along with the vortex.

What I'm seeing now is Itou's field of view.

Since I'm imagining it, I'm not sure if it worked.

"Anyway, let's go check it out!"

"Alright!"

Itou and the others went to the slightly open area where the sea dragon was resting.

And there—

"Aggha—Gaha—"

The sea dragon, which was previously in good condition, was now writhing in agony from a sudden attack.

Its scales were torn in places, its eyes were bloodshot, and there were swollen areas on its body like water blisters.

It felt like a direct hit.

The air was accumulating above the room.

"Could this be because of the air Hahashi sent through teleportation?"

"It's in good condition! This is our chance!"

"If we can replenish the air, there's no better situation!"

"Let's block the escape route with a magic barrier!"

"Everyone, throw air bombs to put the sea dragon at a disadvantage!"

They all used their air replenishment devices to fill the area with air.

The water was significantly pushed out, and by the time the sea dragon recovered from its agony and became enraged, the situation was in the adventurers' favor.

The sea dragon, now on land, was like a seal.

It could only drag its body to move.

Of course, it could move on land with a water cloak, but for Itou and the adventurers and knights, who were not constrained by water, it was an easy opponent to subdue.

Still, its movements were fast, and Itou's field of view changed rapidly.

"Ugh..."

"What's wrong, Kosei?"

"Itou's movements are so intense, I feel seasick..."

Watching it made me feel like I was getting motion sickness.

Itou, I now understand how much you move during battles, but watching through visual transfer makes me feel seasick.

It's like 3D motion sickness in games.

But if I don't watch, I might miss a chance to support.

As I endured and watched, the sea dragon generated a vortex, but without enough water, its attacks were weakened.

The attacks weren't overwhelming.

"This is the first time a sea dragon hunt has been this easy."

"Truly, the otherworlder, to create such an advantageous situation is unbelievable."

The knight and adventurer said to Itou and the others while fighting.

"Even if you flatter us, it won't increase our share."

"Right! That's true!"

They were having a conversation like comrades.

I felt a strong sense of exclusion because I wasn't there.

Itou took out a sword wrapped in lightning and raised it high.

That was the trump card he mentioned, the Demon Blade One Cut.

He raised it towards the face of the sea dragon, which had been beaten up by everyone.

"Agghaaaaa—Ohhh—!"

That one strike was the finishing blow, and the sea dragon fell over.

"It seems we did it."

"That's right! Look!"

As I said, Hagizawa pointed in the direction of the window.

Wow, it's amazing that you can tell the boss has been defeated at a glance.

The dark clouds that were there a moment ago have cleared, and the sky has turned blue.

The whirlpools in the sea seem to have disappeared.

However... just watching from a distance, Itou's movements are so fast that I feel sick.

"What about the share?"

"What can we do? It's so beaten up, there's not much left to use as materials."

"We won, but... it's a waste."

Ah, Itou and the others look apologetic.

It can't be helped.

Actually... can teleportation attacks not kill monsters of this class?

It might be stronger than the Adamant Turtle?

I just sent air.

Would it have been better to send a rock for a one-hit kill?

But I just did what I was told.

"Alright, let's disassemble it and take it back."

"Wait. Hahashi, can you teleport it?"

Itou asked me.

"Don't use me like a jack-of-all-trades..."

"What's wrong?"

Moshin and Jitsu asked.

Itou can't hear, so even if they know the situation, it sounds like I'm talking to myself.

"Itou asked if I can teleport the sea dragon's corpse."

"Shouldn't you do it?"

Well, this is my job.

It's a big deal that we won without any casualties, and I'm happy too.

So, I'll designate the large sea dragon's corpse in front of Itou and the others for teleportation... it's too big.

I'll teleport it nearby. I need to explain the situation.
